Mendinghall blew the game.

**broadway6** · 02-06-11, 10:31 PM

big ben throwing 2 ints (1 for a td) didn't help you

**C-Gold** · 02-06-11, 10:33 PM

Clay Matthews hit that guy so freaking hard, shoulder to the ball.

**RudyRuetigger** · 02-06-11, 10:33 PM

personally i blame roethlisberger, polamalu, and the idiot on the kickoff that got the personal foul at the end of the game

**dngf** · 02-06-11, 10:36 PM

It was a contribution, certainly not nearly the sole cause of the loss. there were three turnovers leading to 21 points.

**purecarnagge** · 02-06-11, 10:39 PM

steelers played poorly overall but Mendenhall running into two packers like oh I'm not going to get creamated and fumbling was pathetic...

someone bring his shit down to earth and show him what Ray Lewis did to him for talking shit please?

**Cicima6709** · 02-06-11, 10:40 PM

Shitty loss, id rather them get blown out rather then come back, make it a close game, and then get my hopes up. Blah, i shouldnt have bet so much on such a 50/50 game...

Polamalu definitely sucked, not just on the Packers last TD, but throughout the game. So much for DPOY. Big Ben was avg, and Mendenhall fumbled away the game. Sucks.

**seaborneq** · 02-06-11, 10:42 PM

The game was in balance when Mendy fumbled, in Pack Territory down by 3. Pack scored following the possession. I never felt Steeler could win after that. Tie or get the lead and we are talking about Mendy being in the mvp conversation.

**Chuck Sims** · 02-06-11, 10:44 PM

Mathews just said on NFL Network that the Packers D knew Mendinghall was going to run right on the play and wanted to stick him so he would fumble. What a play!

Mathews is a former NFL Network intern and USC walk on.

**dfberger23** · 02-06-11, 10:47 PM

That fumble was the killer, worst possible time to fumble.

**yurnero** · 02-06-11, 10:49 PM

yeah i feel pitt's momentum was in full swing and then he fumbles the ball, GB scores and game.

GB scored only 1 offensive TD on a complete drive. another TD was an int for TD and 2 were set up by turnovers.

i had money on GB for the game and pitt 2nd half so i am happy... but i must say, pitt played a better game overall but shot themselves in the foot with the turnovers.

was a great game though, good way to end a great nfl season

**k13** · 02-06-11, 10:50 PM

They gift wrapped the whole game for the Packers.

Yes. and if you watched packers last fg drive, he wasnt within 20yds of the LoS he was playing so far back. it was as if he was playing a prevent defense when they needed a stop. the 3rd and 10 GB got where he made the tackle he was so far behind the play it was a joke

also, blowing 2 timeouts really cost them.

i didnt bet on it, just a pitt fan

Steelers ran that play like 4 times.

**randy4u** · 02-06-11, 10:57 PM

Poly sucked in all of the playoff games he didnt do shit and I am glad for it

**paco** · 02-06-11, 11:02 PM

Uh huh, u know what it is, GreenbandnyellOw, Green and yellow' greenb m yellow!!!!

**icancount2one** · 02-06-11, 11:48 PM

Mendenhall blew it? More like Matthews made a great play.

It wasn't like he was handling the ball loosely or anything (that play).

**goofyre** · 02-06-11, 11:51 PM

Ben definitely didn't play very well today. I wouldn't blame Mendenhall at all for this loss.

**Glitch** · 02-06-11, 11:53 PM

neither polamalu or matthews put up numbers

Amen. When he fumbled made the whole difference.

I had Matthews for under 1/2 a sack at like +160....also had Randle-el for under 14.5 yards though.

**headhunter34** · 02-07-11, 12:02 AM

he had a great game up til that point too

**mr. leisure** · 02-07-11, 12:07 AM

Definitely a game changing play

ben got picked off twice, both by solid defensive plays by the packers. the fumble was caused by a good hit. i think green bay just played better rather than pitt giving it away

**orlikowski** · 02-07-11, 12:11 AM

can't blame one guy for the loss. It was a team.

**BigDofBA** · 02-07-11, 12:18 AM

You people need to quit being sore losers. Green Bay made plays. Green Bay played better. Green Bay never trailed and was up 21-3.

If Pitt had covered it would have been unlucky for Packer backers. As it was, Green Bay was the correct pick even after losing three players to injury.

Green Bay was easily 3 points better than Pitt.

**whadeeb** · 02-07-11, 12:19 AM

Oh well, guess I picked the wrong team to bet on

GB had nothing to with those turnovers I guess

**redrum** · 02-07-11, 01:04 AM

how when ben threw 2 picks and 1 went to the house and he over threw wallence on a td. i say ur boi ben blew the game

**rake922** · 02-07-11, 01:05 AM

rodgers is awesome. best in the game

**BGboothA** · 02-07-11, 01:08 AM

And somehow Big Ben stays out of the dog house yet again....how is this possible. He isn't half the QB people think he is.

**tealish** · 02-07-11, 01:08 AM

Big ben continues to do what he does best.

**tatommack** · 02-07-11, 01:10 AM

what is scary pitt played so bad and still could have won

**charlesbroccoli** · 02-07-11, 01:15 AM

i think the blame should be on ben for his two interceptions

**Mr Handicapable** · 02-07-11, 01:17 AM

Exactly.....GB is the better team! In fact they lost Woodson, Driver, and Shields for a long while too and still won! Driver can't run but he wouldn't drop 1st downs either! James Jones probably scores on the 1st drive 3Q if he catches the ball...everyone else from Pitt was blitzing and he already got behind his man! Then its 28-10 and I doubt Pitt ever gets close after that!
